Come Learn About Social Engineering and Intelligence Gathering

2019 Conference

The Layer 8 conference is the only one that is solely dedicated to social engineering and open source intelligence (OSINT) discussions. We will have two tracks of presentations on these topics from world-renowned social engineers and investigators.

In addition, we will have:

A two-hour improv workshop run by the Providence Improv Group to help social engineers work on their improvisational skills.

A lockpicking village run by The Open Organization of Lockpickers (TOOOL) where you can learn how to pick a lock and even try it yourself!

A capture the flag competition run by Trace Labs and in partnership with the RI State Police where we will use OSINT skills to locate missing persons.

Note: This conference was formerly known as “Social Engineering – Rhode Island” or se-ri.org. The change was made during the 2018 conference to better reflect the goals of “Hacking the Human” and its reference to the 7 layer OSI Model, where the human is Layer 8!
